No surprise. No clear path to monetary victory, ATM. I'd steer clear, but then again, I have a dislike for unprofitable companies. Another reason I hate the Silicon Valley way of thinking: If you build it, money will come.

My question has always been for this internet entities like Facebook and Twitter has been: what have they really built? Or what do they really have?
They really haven't built anything tangible. It's all based on ad revenue. Once the "next best thing" comes along, these companies can go from high on the hog to bankrupt in literally a couple months. What assets do they really have other than an office building (that they probably are leasing) and a few computers (again, that they are probably leasing). Once these internet companies begin to lose their footing, they almost free fall straight to bankruptcy...but of course not until after all the "principal partners" have cashed in. |

I'd bet they made damn sure everything went smoothly.
Appears it has. I do NOT trust it. no one should...its a money grab! It's 'worth' is its IPO price (if that!)....and I still won't touch it. The 'selloff' will be slower and 'they' (the select few) will profit much....ahead of the social networking site for the next generation. **jinx,jinx,double jinx....fan erasies**

We could start a new company called Twitterbookedin and the eventual IPO could be record breaking...still with no profit
